Extra food stamp benefits enacted by Congress at the height of the pandemic ended this week, even as grocery prices surge.
The average food stamp benefit will come to about $6 per person per day.
Need I remind you that we passed a record $857 billion defense bill last year?
I relish every unfortunate opportunity Iβm presented to yell at Congress to

@rbreich But the military obviously isnβt funded enough and is far more important than food security. <heavy sarcasm alert if not obvious>
Im so tired of this bs we canβt afford things when we continue to spend absurd amounts into the military machine, though never enough for our vets. I have no idea how weβre ever going to change this and it is so damn frustrating.
Interestingly, the US military budget is about the same as giving every person in the US $7.09 a day.
